Les terroirs viticoles ont une histoire

Abstract

L’historien repart d’une définition scientifique, rigoureuse et récente du terroir viticole. “Un terroir viticole est composé de plusieurs unités homogènes : éléments géologiques et pédologiques (texture, granulométrie, épaisseur, nature minéralogique, composants chimiques), géomorphologiques (altitude, pente, exposition), climatologiques (pluviométrie, température, insolation)”. Absent de cette définition, l’homme est heureusement réintroduit un peu plus loin. En associant la viticulture et la vinification, il forme un “couple” avec le terroir et ce couple. L’historien se propose de réexaminer les relations de ce tout au long de deux millénaires d’histoire. Il veut montrer que le choix de localisation des vignes, celui des cépages et celui des techniques de viticulture ne furent pas ou peu guidés, jusqu’à une période récente, par des qualités ou des virtualités objectivement reconnues à des terroirs précis. Des contraintes et des motivations extérieures au milieu physique ont été beaucoup plus déterminantes. Elles furent économiques, tout particulièrement commerciales, mais aussi politiques, juridiques, sociales, voire culturelles.

Counting grape bunches using deep learning under different fruit and leaf occlusion conditions

Yield estimation is very important for the wine industry since provides useful information for vineyard and winery management. The early yield estimation of the grapevine provides information to winegrowers in making management decisions to achieve a better quantity and quality of grapes. In general, yield forecasts are based on destructive sampling of bunches and manual counting of berries per bunch and bunches per vine.

Consistency of the hydraulic traits and stomatal responses in grapevines with contrasting hydraulic vulnerability

Different from wild species in arid and semiarid conditions, cultivated species are very sensitive to drought and, beyond some stress thresholds, food production is not possible

Oak Tannin and Unoaked and Oaked Wine Extracts Influence Gene Expression in HepaRG Human Liver Cells

Previous work from our laboratory has shown that both a purified toasted oak powder and extracts made from unoaked and oaked red wines influenced physiological parameters, metabolism and hepatic gene expression in high-fat fed C57/BL6J male mice (Luo et al., 2020).  Impacted pathways included glucose metabolism, liver fat accumulation, markers of chronic inflammation, and expression of the Gsta1 mRNA.  

Anthocyanins Chemistry During Red Wine Ageing

Anthocyanins are the main pigments present in young red wines, being responsible for their intense red color. These pigment in aqueous solutions occur in different forms in equilibrium that are dependent on the pH

Combining high-power ultrasound and oenological enzymes during winemaking for improving red wine chromatic characteristics

he use of high-power ultrasound (US) is proving of great interest to the oenological industry due to its effects in the improvement of wine organoleptic characteristics, especially in terms of color [1, 2].
